How do I set up my GOOGLE account and why do I want to anyway?
Google Apps offers all kinds of web-based tools and resources for communication and collaboration. It is a great way to store and share information in a user-friendly format that can be accessed on the go. Basically, it's everything a social worker (or teacher, administrator, etc.) needs to organize and utilize the insane amount of information we need from day-to-day to do our jobs. Google Apps can make life much easier for you (and me!) by helping us connect in more meaningful and efficient ways.
I promise it's painless to get started, just click here.
Note: If you have ever set up a personal Google account using your WCPSS email address please watch this video to learn how to fix this conflict.
Now that you've set up your account a whole new world of technological wonders awaits! You may already be familiar with many of the tools that Google offers and together i'm sure that we can think of some really creative ways to use them. What ideas do you have?
Some of you will be joining our workshop next week to learn about Google Voice, which is a great communication tool. If you're not able to join us, but are still interested in learning more i'll be posting a tutorial soon.
Happy Googling!
